Dear Friends and Supporters,
You may have heard that the construction of a 1.8 mile segment of
I-69 will begin soon. The politicians and highway lobbyists who are
promoting I-69 will hold a secret, by-invitation-only, celebration in downtown
Evansville sometime this week. This is in lieu of a public ground breaking.
In short, the vast majority of people who will pay for the highway will
not be allowed to attend. This is another example of how the process
promoting I-69 is corrupted.
We want to assure you that despite these distressing developments, our opposition to I-69 is not diminishing and we will continue our work to protect our homes, farms, forests, communities and for fiscal responsibility.
In order to avoid doing honest studies and to more easily manipulate data, INDOT divided the I-69 project into segments. INDOT has stated that even the 1.8 mile segment has "independent utility", that it can be justified as a stand-alone project. This means that there is no legal requirement to complete any other segment of I-69. In spite of INDOT's misinformation, the cost of construction has more than doubled in the last five years. Unless stopped, I-69 will continue to drain funding from important transportation and highway projects around the state.
We are in this fight for the long haul. Currently we are considering additional legal challenges to I-69 and, as we have for the last seventeen, years we will have our information booth at the Monroe County Fair. If you are in the area, stop by and see us.
We thank you for your years of unwavering support. Following is an article from the Bloomington Herald Times.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas & Sandra Tokarski
and the CARR Steering Committee
